"I adore a good carrot cake, and this mix comes surprisingly close to homemade. Due to my health, I can't bake from scratch anymore, so I rely on mixes. This one is always delicious.

The only downside was a few carrots felt a bit rubbery, but overall, I would definitely buy it again!"

I followed the directions, used macadamia oil, and baked it in my convection toaster oven. It was very peanuty, and I enjoyed it a lot. It definitely doesn't feel heavy, so I find myself eating more than usual. Just a note: it doesn't make a lot, so I recommend using a couple of boxes if you're feeding a crowd."
